It's a shared fantasy. Seriously. That's my view of what the universe is. The only way in which my part of the fantasy differs from some people's is that I don't believe that there is a "reality" underlying the fantasies (at least on the level of the relative), or any external observer/creator/watcher to perceive it if there were. It's just a wonderful combination of all of the gazillions of fantasies, interacting and creating "difference tones," in the same way that interactions of light create holograms. I'll probably go back this morning (less tired this morning than I was last night after a long hike in the mountains) and see whether I have anything more to say in response to Edg's latest "God conversation," but I might just have nailed it last night when bone-tired. It seemed to me at the time that his rap about saints was all based on the assumption that God exists, and that he/she/it has some kind of plan. Since I don't accept either assumption, how can I respond? I guess we'll see, hopefully after I've had my coffee. And yes, it may be fantasy coffee, just as I am a fantasy coffee drinker, but it helps on a rainy morning when trying to get one's fantasy arguments in order. :-)
